Does anyone know how to tell Yahoo Finance that they have a stock symbol wrong?

Stock symbol INB is Cohen & Steers Global Income Builders on all systems except Yahoo Finance. On their system it brings up some otc stock. Yahoo finance help menu seems to assume that they have a perfect system and you just need help using it. Nowhere could I find a way to tell somebody about the problem.

    As far as I can tell there is no longer any way to get direct customer support regarding Yahoo! Finance. They seem to think that you can get your help from other users who aren't even in a position to fix Yahoo!'s problems, let alone understand their origin. That fundamental lack of understanding of the situation pretty much tells you where Yahoo!'s future is.

    Or ... Yahoo! believes everything works just fine and all the problems are related to customers who simply do not know how to use Yahoo!'s services. Right.

    As far as I can tell, once Yahoo! gets their Financial services to work fairly well, they start meddling with it until it doesn't work so well. Job security for the programmers. Which seems a little odd since their programming is probably subcontracted to India where -- guess what -- there is a language barrier. When they become bored with that, they completely overhaul the interface and put it online before completely testing it, and basically start the whole process over.

    Yahoo does invite you to write them a letter if you find a problem, but they won't make it easy by giving you a phone number or email address to report such problem.

    Source(s): Hey Joe, I just found a feedback forum where you can report errors. But I do not guarantee the Yahoo ever reads them: http://feedback.yahoo.com/forums/178657-finance-me...

    You bought these stocks high. It will take more than a week to go back to that level. And proper now these stocks have fallen a lot that's too late to do away with. BAC may fall as down as $eight. I do not consider GE goes to slide down very much in the near future.

    How can you cash in on the potential growth that penny stocks have to offer? Learn here https://tr.im/b3ACN

    There are three things you'll want to look for when picking a penny stock to make sure that you don't get penny stuck: Underlying business, financials, and footnotes.

    When it comes to penny stocks, a company's underlying business is even more important than it is in exchange-traded stocks. That's because the penny stock world is home to "shell" companies that are legally incorporated, but don't have any business operations
